I have used AMD/Nvidia combo for years (over 3 total rebuilds, probably over more than 7 years), never had any problems appart with high textures on BF2, and my machines have always blown the socks of my freinds AMD/ATI combo with similar specs.

I could run all high on BF2 with my 8600GT before.
But I upgraded to 3GB of RAM from 2 and got an ATI 4850.
Ever since that upgrade, I would ctd on mapload with high settings.
I don't think this will ever be fixed as I've already tried almost everything.

There is nothing wrong with an AMD/Nvidia combo it just dosen't make much sence. If your going for a budget CPU you might as well go for a budget GFX card that shares the same technology as AMD and ATI are made to work in harmony with each other. At the end of the day, Intel and Nvidia still make better CPU/GPUs but are far more expensive generally speaking.

I also take it you upgraded to Windows Vista/7 at the same time as your RAM/GPU upgrade? Windows Vista/7 has a much larger overhead than XP and as such, it uses more ram leaving less for BF2 or other programs to use which in turn, will mean its more likley that your PC will run out of memory.
